I would like to commend everyone who has abided by the guidelines put forward by Tennis Nova Scotia in the last 8 weeks to keep our tennis community safe. I am pleased to announce that we can now get back to our regular tennis activities with the recent announcement of groups of 10 without social distancing. I would encourage everyone to continue to use good hygiene practices while taking part in tennis activities such as sanitizing and keeping your hands away from your face. Please see FAQ’s below which may help with any question you may have as either an individual or a member club. It looks like a great weekend so get out there and play some tennis !
